Hike an extraordinary ice age landscape
Oze National Park is a beautiful hiking destination in the mountains of Northern Gunma.
Its elevated boardwalks plot the trail around its main highlights: Ozegahara Plateau and Ozenuma Pond. Ozegahara's marshland blooms with skunk cabbages in spring and daylilies in summer. In autumn, the grass turns golden.
The area's two most popular trailheads start at Hatomachitoge (near Ozegahara) and Oshimizu (near Ozenuma Pond). From these trailheads, it takes around one hour to walk to Ozegahara.
The marshland dates back to the ice age around 10,000 years ago. Many of the plants that bloom across the marsh have evolved from that time.
Get inspired by stories about rural getaways, hiking adventures, onsen hopping, and local cuisine. Find out more about the unique charm of Gunma in our comprehensive articles, guides, and itineraries.Read more

text: This paper investigates a performance analysis of wave excitation force prediction to extract wave power for a slider crank power take-off system (PTOS) based on auto regressive (AR) filters. To efficiently convert wave energy into electricity, the prediction of wave excitation forces to keep the generator and the wave excitation force in sync is important for maximum energy extraction. The study shows a prediction methodology of half period and zero crossings in the practical scenario of irregular ocean waves. The prediction has been tested for different wave periods and with different filter orders. The prediction results have been used in the PTOS simulation to analyze the energy extraction. It has been shown that the prediction accuracy in the wave half period between the truth data and the predicted data drives the WEC energy extraction efficiency. The amplitude of the wave force is not used and hence the prediction deviation in the wave force amplitude does not affect the PTOS energy extraction. Further analysis shows that the optimum energy can be extracted at 15th order filter with moderate prediction horizon length.

text: Abstract Generally, huge energy consumption is required in the operation of the multi-chiller system in air-conditioning system. Concerning minimizing energy consumption, both Lagrangian method and genetic algorithm have been applied to optimize the partial loading rate in each chiller. As is demonstrated by previous studies, though the Lagrangian method could minimize energy consumption, it could not effectively execute convergence at low demands. And despite its capability to execute convergence at low demands, the genetic algorithm may not get the minimum energy consumption solution as Lagrange method did of solving the optimal chiller loading problem. As an efficient method, the particle swarm algorithm has been proposed to solving continuous parameters optimization problems. This paper applies particle swarm algorithm to minimize energy consumption of multi-chiller system. The objective function is energy consumption and the optimum parameter is the partial loading ratio of each chiller. To further testify the feasibility of the proposed method, the paper adopts two case studies to compare the results of the developed optimal model with Lagrangian method and genetic algorithm. The result of the two case studies shows that the particle swarm algorithm outperforms the genetic algorithm not only in overcoming the divergence of Lagrangian method occurring at low demands, but also in getting the minimum energy consumption solution of solving the optimal chiller loading problem.

The phrase Grand Cross is used to describe the highest grade in many types of knighthood. Sometimes the person with the highest grade are called "knights grand cross" or just "grand crosses". Sometimes the actual medallion or ribbon is called "the grand cross" and not the person.
In some orders, the highest grade may be called the "grand cordon", "grand collar" or something like this. In those cases the rank of grand cross may come after another rank, but before the highest grade.
As an example:
- for the Portuguese Order of Saint James of the Sword, the Grand Cross is the 5th highest award, with the Grand Collar being a higher award above the Grand Cross.


First 0 Euro Banknote of Ireland
19 Jun 2021 Sat
The concept of "Euro Souvenir" was introduced to attract tourists and visitors. These notes depict important destinations, historical buildings, or anything else that represents that particular country.
A French businessman named Richard Faille introduced this concept in France in 2015. The idea was expanded and has now reached Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, Italy Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal through various businesses.
A company from Galway named Euro Note Souvenir released Ireland's first '0 Euro' banknote in August which was introduced as an Irish souvenir or Irish gift. The Euro Souvenir depicts an image of a Celtic harp and a map of Ireland with its states.

Congratulations to David K. Thomson, Winner of 2023 Wiley-Silver Prize
The Center for Civil War Research at the University of Mississippi is proud to announce David K. Thomson as the winner of the 2023 Wiley-Silver Prize for Bonds of War: How Civil War Financial Agents Sold the World on the Union (University of North Carolina Press, 2022). The prize is awarded annually to the best first book published in Civil War history during the preceding year. The full citation from the prize committee is below. For more on the Wiley-Silver Prize, please visit _URL_
Report of the Wiley-Silver Prize Committee on Bonds of War:
"With its clear prose, perceptive analysis, and extensive archival research, David Thomson's Bonds of War explains how the Union financed the Civil War by marketing its securities across the globe and democratizing its debt through public war drives. The international dimensions of Thomson history show us how the cost of the Civil War attracted European investors who owned half of all United States national debt by 1869. Historians who have focused on the neutrality of European governments have missed how these private investors supported the Union war effort. Through impressive archival research in libraries from eight countries, Thomson recovers the stories of these foreign financiers who contributed more than $400 million in war bonds and changed the world financial system by making it interdependent on America's success. Domestically, Thomson follows agents who sold bonds to every corner of the nation. Middle-class Americans who had opened savings accounts before the war redirected their money to higher interest bonds, thus connecting their personal profits to national patriotism. Investors living behind Confederate lines bought bonds to express allegiance or hedge their bets against a losing cause. While other scholars have stressed how Civil War greenbacks revolutionized American currency, Thomson makes a persuasive case for the importance of bonds as democratic agents and financial instruments. His book shows how war bonds raised confidence not only in the United States government but also in investment banking. Looking beyond the Civil War era to these lasting effects, Bonds of War helps to contextualize the Reconstruction railroad bonds and Gilded Age speculations that built modern Wall Street."

text: This paper studies platform bifurcation, the process in which a subgroup of users from an original platform launches an independent spin-off platform. We identify the effects of bifurcation using a difference-in-differences approach that exploits the introduction of spin-off platforms in an online platform incubator. We find that bifurcation leads to a strong overall increase in contributions. While contributions to the home platform decline, the two bifurcated platforms generate more combined user contributions and attract more new users compared to a single united platform. We further explore how interconnectivity and platform differentiation affect users' choice of platform. Our evidence indicates that users are less likely to migrate from an incumbent platform to a new, specialized platform when interconnectivity is strong but more likely to migrate when the specialized platform enables more differentiation. This paper is the first to empirically analyze the strategic implications of new platform entry at scale and to document the moderating role of interconnectivity and platform differentiation.

What Is The Average Car Insurance In Milwaukee?
According to The Zebra the average driver in Milwaukee will pay around $1,587 for car insurance. Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin. The average car insurance in Wisconsin is around $1,100, the national average car insurance rate is $1,580.
Why are Car Insurance Rates High In Milwaukee?
High Car Theft Rate
According to data from Neighborhoodscout over 4,500 cars were stolen in Milwaukee. With a population of 590,000 this translates into 7.89 stolen cars per 1000 residents. The national average is 2.29 cars stolen per 100 residents.
The chance of getting your car stolen is 3x higher in Milwaukee than the national average. This is a major contributor to the higher insurance rates in the city.
Motor Vehicle Accident Rate
According to the Wisconsin government website In 2019 Milwaukee had over 29,000 car crashes. Milwaukee made up 20.4% of all car accidents in Wisconsin.
Accident rates and claims are a key factor in how insurance companies calculate car insurance rates. Since the city has such a high rate of car accidents it contributes to the higher rate of car insurance in Milwaukee.
In 2019 Wisconsin has 554 car fatalities across the state. The county of Milwaukee alone had 74 fatalities or 13.3% of all fatalities.
Like accident rates, the fatality rate also is a major factor which impacts the car insurance rates of your ZIP or city.
Overall crime is much higher in Milwaukee than the rest of the state. This also leads to the much higher car insurance costs compared to the rest of the state.
Car Insurance Rates By Age
Age pays a big factor in how much you pay for car insurance. In Milwaukee the age group that pays the lowest car insurance premiums are this in their 50s. The average annual premium for drivers in their 50s is around $1,390 per year. Drivers in their 60s also pay below the average at $1,450 per year.
It is no surprise that teenage drivers pay the highest annual premiums. On average teenage drivers pay over $7,000 a year on car insurance. The largest drop in annual premiums occurs once drivers reach 20 years of age. Drivers in their 20s pay around $2,100 which is a savings of almost $5,000 per year.
Car Insurance Rates By Marital Status & Gender
Marital status and gender can play a role in calculating your car insurance premiums. In Milwaukee married drivers pay $175 less than single drivers. In many parts of the country married drives pay less than single drivers. Even divorced or and widowed drivers surprisingly pay less than single drivers.
When it comes to car insurance cost gap, female drivers in Milwaukee pay on average $20 less on car insurance than male drivers.
- Maintain a clean driving record
- Add anti-theft devices if you live in an area with high car theft
- Take advantage of age and marital status to get better car insurance rates

One of the historical costs of paving has been the labor and material expenses to stake out the jobsite with pins and stringlines. This is an estimated expense of $1 per linear foot. If you begin utilizing Leica's 3D stringless paving, you can eliminate the pins, string, and most of the labor associated with setting them. Is it a good investment? Take a look at a real paving example below:
- Existing Job – Paving an 11-mile, 4-lane divided highway. This means you are paving 22 miles and setting 6 stringline set-ups with ramps.
- Setting stringline for a total of 696,960 linear feet.
- Estimated cost per linear foot for stringline is $1.00.
- Total estimated cost for setting stringline for ONE job is nearly $700,000.
For the cost of setting the stringline for one project, you can easily purchase, have installed and be trained on two mainline paving systems and have money left over. You will also be able to continually reuse the systems, reducing costs for future jobs.
There are also additional benefits to going stringless that should be considered that can positively impact your financials:
- Increase jobsite safety
- Improve project logistics
- Reduce time to complete the job
- Potentially a better ride quality
- Potential to obtain a higher percent of smooth-ride bonus
- Reduce material waste

Definition - What does Bordeaux Mixture mean?
Bordeaux-Mixture is a fungicide (Biocidal Chemical Compound or Biological Organism) that is used for preventing bacterial diseases and infestations in vine fruits and tree fruits. It is composed of copper sulfate and calcium hydroxide that is later combined with water in a spray applicator. The application of Bordeaux-Mixture can effectively control plant diseases and infestations such downy mildew, powdery mildew and leaf spot.
WineFrog explains Bordeaux Mixture
The Bordeaux-Mixture was first discovered by a French Botanist by the name of Pierre Marie Alexis Millardet in 1860. Since then, it has been used to prevent fungal diseases and bacterial issues faced by vineyards and vine growers worldwide. The copper ions in the mixture stops the enzymes that the fungal spores need to spread, while the lime acts as a neutralizer. The best time to apply Bordeaux-Mixture is during the dormant season, during hot or humid weather conditions the application may cause leaf drop and leaf burn.

Detect and Fix Task Overruns on Arduino Hardware
You can configure a Simulink® model running on the target hardware to detect and notify you when a task overrun occurs. A task overrun occurs if the target hardware is still performing one instance of a task when the next instance of that task is scheduled to begin. You can fix overruns by decreasing the frequency with which tasks are scheduled to run, and/or by reducing the number of tasks defined by your model.
To enable overrun detection:
 1. Click the Tools menu in the model, and select Run on Target Hardware > Options.
 2. In the Hardware Implementation pane that opens, select the Overrun detection > Enable overrun detection check box.
 3. Use the Digital output to set on overrun parameter to specify the pin number of a digital output.
 4. Click OK.
To create a visual overrun indicator for your board, connect an appropriate resistor in series with an LED between the GND and the hardware pin specified by the Digital output to set on overrun parameter. Orient the LED so the longer leg (positive) is connected to the digital output pin.
When a task overrun occurs:
 - The state of the digital output pin specified by the Digital output to set on overrun parameter changes from low (0 Volts) to high (5 Volts).
 - The model continues running, but the effective sample time will be longer than specified.
To fix an overrun condition, reduce the processing burden of the model by applying one or more of the following solutions:
 - Increase the sample times for the model. For example, increase the values of the Sample time parameters in all of your data source blocks.
 - Simplify the model.
If you are using External mode, and the preceding solutions do not fix the task overrun condition, consider disabling External mode. External mode adds a lightweight server to the model running on the target hardware. This server increases the processing burden upon the target hardware, which can contribute to a task overrun condition.

I am trying to prove that:
(uv)R = vRuR
where R is the reversal of a String defined recursively as:
aR = a
(wa)R = awR
I think I have the base case right, but I am having trouble with the inductive step and final proof.
here is what I have:
Base Step
prove for n = 1 where |uv| = 1
(uv)R = uReR = uR = u (where e is the empty string)
I dont really know where to go from here, any help would be great.
share|improve this question
Instead of doing induction over the entire $|uv|$, let the induction variable be just $|v|$ and keep the $u$ constant-but-arbitrary throughout the induction proof. (Also, since $u$ can be empty, the base case should probably be $|u|=0$ rather than $|u|=1$). – Henning Makholm Sep 3 '11 at 22:01

I agree with Henning that your induction should be on $|v|$. Note in the case $|v| = 1$, you're done by definition. It's probably also worth mentioning something about the empty string for completeness.
Let me demonstrate how I would prove this for $|v| = 3$ supposing we knew this were true for when $|v| = 2$. This should illustrate how you should prove $|v| = n$ from assuming $|v| = n - 1$ is valid.
Let $v = v_1v_2v_3$ be a string of length 3. Assume the claim is true for strings of length 2. Then $(uv)^R = (uv_1v_2v_3)^R$. By the recursive definition, $(uv_1v_2v_3)^R = v_3(uv_1v_2)^R$. Note $v_1v_2$ is a string of length 2, so we have $v_3(uv_1v_2)^R = v_3(v_1v_2)^Ru^R$. But by definition, $v_3(v_1v_2)^Ru^R = v_3v_2v_1u^R = (v_1v_2v_3)^Ru^R$.
In almost all inductive proofs, it helps to prove a few small cases by using even smaller cases. If you're still having trouble, try proving this for $|v| = 4$ by using the same ideas as above.

Definitions for capitonym
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word capitonym
A word that changes sound and meaning when the case is changed; a case-sensitive word.
Origin: capital + -onym
A capitonym is a word that changes its meaning when it is capitalized; the capitalization usually applies due to one form being a proper noun or eponym. It is a portmanteau of the word capital with the suffix -onym. A capitonym is a form of homograph and – when the two forms are pronounced differently – also of heteronym. In situations where both words should be capitalized, there will be nothing to distinguish between them except the context in which they are used. Although some pairs, such as march and March, are completely unrelated, in other cases, such as august and catholic, the capitalized form is a name that is etymologically related to the uncapitalized form. For example, August derives from the name of Imperator Augustus, who named himself after the word augustus, whence English august came. Likewise, both Catholic and catholic derive from a Greek adjective meaning "universal". Capital letters may be used to differentiate between a set of objects, and a particular example of that object. For instance in Astronomical terminology a distinction may be drawn between a moon, any natural satellite, and the Moon, to be specific the natural satellite of Earth. Likewise, Sun with a capital may be used to emphasise that the sun of Earth is under discussion.

The correct answer to this question is C: the difference between these two falls as output rises. To see why this is so, let us start by looking at the definitions of ATC and AVC.
A business can be said to incur three kinds of costs. These are fixed costs, variable costs, and total costs. The total costs are made up of the fixed and the variable costs. Fixed costs are costs that are constant regardless of how much output is produced. These are things like the mortgage payments on a hotel, which does not change regardless of how many rooms are rented out. Variable costs change with the level of output. In the hotel example, costs for water usage and maid service, for example, vary depending on how many rooms are rented.
This helps us understand why average total costs (ATC) and average variable costs (AVC) will converge. As output rises, variable costs rise but fixed costs stay the same. This means that variable costs are getting to be more and more of the total costs. Therefore, the average variable cost curve will move closer and closer the to the ATC curve.

Why is Louisa Collins known as the Borgia of Botany?
I've received so many emails in response to the story in Good Weekend (19/10) and one question that has arisen is: why was Louisa called the Borgia of Botany?
Two reasons: first, because Louisa supposedly used poison to dispatch her husbands (once you've read the book, you'll be able to decide for yourself whether she was guilty.)
The name Louisa sounds a little like Lucrezia - and Lucrezia Borgia is a famous figure in Renaissance history: the daughter of a Pope, she is rumoured to have owned a hollow ring, which she would fill with poison to drop into the drinks of her family's enemies.
Second: because Louisa lived in Botany, of course!

process of collecting students Aadhaar number has already begun. It will be then uploaded in a single system to make the identification process easier. As of now, the last date for the submission of Aadhaar card in school is 31 December 2017. There are anticipations that the number of students enrolled under mid-day meal will reduce once the entire process will complete.

Aadhaar Card is now mandatory for students of Haryana board exams
For the board exams in 2017, the possession of Aadhaar card for students has been made compulsory by the Haryana Board of School Education (HBSE). Earlier this year, Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) made Aadhaar card number mandatory for students of 10th and 12th classes. Also, Aadhar is compulsory for the candidates who are appearing for the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE).
In an attempt to prevent the forgery of education certificates, HBSE announced that the provision of the card was already present but it was not made mandatory. Keeping the usefulness of Aadhaar details, the board has now made it mandatory to produce Aadhar card. Considering the fact that Aadhaar details are now important in order to enroll for the board exams, the HBSE has extended the registration date for Class 12 examinations. Earlier, Aadhaar card was used for board exam's enrollment process but it was not mandatory. After Gujarat and Maharashtra, Haryana has now become the third board to add Aadhaar card in the enrollment checklist.
The HBSE will validate the details provided by students against the UIDAI's data to make sure that there is no duplication of the records. It will also help the board in maintaining and improving the overall transparency of the examination process.
If you are going to appear for the 2017 board exams, you should verify your Aadhaar card details for accuracy. If the details are not accurate, you should get it corrected as soon as possible

Lismore community groups to receive almost $1 million for vital bush regeneration
Member for Lismore Thomas George today announced four local community groups would receive a total $989,750 for projects aimed at restoring bushland in the local area.
Mr George said on World Environment Day (Tuesday 5 June) the grants were part of an $8 million NSW Government program to fix degraded natural bushland sites.
"In a challenging economic environment this funding targets key community groups who are best placed to protect their local environment," Mr George said.
"I am pleased to announce Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group Inc will receive $249,900 for rehabilitating and restoring lowland subtropical rainforest.
"This grant will be used to improve the health of 640 hectares of rainforest, through the work of two local Landcare groups and the wider community.
"Jiggi Catchment Landcare Inc has also been successful in their grant application for $250,000 to rehabilitate high conservation value habitats and corridors using professional bush regenerators working alongside Landcare members.
"As well, Tweed Landcare has secured $249,850 towards restoring high conservation value flora and fauna habitat to improve connectivity of bushland between the mid-Tweed River and Mount Warning.
"Finally, Upper Clarence Combined Landcare Inc will receive $240,400 to improve the health and resilience of 116 hectares of native vegetation.
"By restoring and protecting 6.5 kilometres of riparian frontage to the Upper Clarence, habitats of rare and endangered flora and fauna will be protected. This project aims to provide a buffer on private land to the adjoining Gondwana Rainforests."
Mr George said it was a boost for the local community that the four dedicated community organisations had been successful in securing funding for such important projects.
The Lismore projects are among 33 across the state to share in $8 million under the Community Bush Regeneration Large Project grants, part of the Environmental Restoration and Rehabilitation program.
Administered by the NSW Environmental Trust, these grants deliver on the NSW Government's commitment to regenerate degraded natural bushland including riverbanks, waterways and urban bushland.
The grants are aimed at larger scale longer term projects which will build capacity for local community groups to protect, restore and enhance our environment.

caused by a sudden temperature shock. While your fish is acclimating, remember to prepare your Big Green Egg for its smoky endeavor. Apply a thin layer of oil or non-stick cooking spray on the grates to prevent sticking and facilitate effortless cleanup.
For those who crave an extra burst of flavor, seasoning your fish with additional herbs, spices, or rubs before smoking is an option worth exploring. This additional layer of seasoning complements the marinade or brine used earlier, intensifying the taste sensations that await.
Adding Smoke Flavor to the Fish
Smoking fish in a Big Green Egg is like adding a touch of magic to your culinary creations. It takes your fish dishes from ordinary to extraordinary, infusing them with a tantalizing smoky flavor that will leave your taste buds begging for more. If you're ready to take your grilling game to the next level and learn how to add that perfect smoke flavor to your fish, then let's dive into the step-by-step process.
Step 1: Choose the Right Wood Chips
The type of wood chips you use can make or break the flavor of your smoked fish. Mesquite wood chips will give your fish a robust and bold smokiness, while fruit woods like apple or cherry can provide a sweeter and milder smoke flavor. Soak the wood chips in water for about 30 minutes before using them. This not only helps create more smoke but also prevents them from burning too quickly.
Step 2: Season the Fish
Before placing your fish in the Big Green Egg, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This step is crucial as it enhances the overall flavor of the fish and complements the smokiness. Don't be afraid to get creative with your seasonings – experiment with herbs, spices, and marinades to find your perfect flavor combination.
Step 3: Maintain Consistent Temperature
To achieve that perfect smoked fish, it's essential to maintain a consistent temperature in your Big Green Egg. The ideal temperature for smoking fish is typically between 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit. Investing in a temperature controller or monitor can make this task easier, ensuring that you stay within the optimal temperature range throughout the cooking process.
Step 4: Oil the Grates
To prevent your fish from sticking to the grates, lightly oil them before placing the fish on top. This simple step ensures easy flipping and beautiful grill marks, while also adding a subtle layer of flavor.
Step 5: Monitor Internal Temperature
Using a meat thermometer, keep a close eye on the internal temperature of your fish as it cooks. Different types of fish have different recommended internal temperatures, but as a general rule, most fish should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that the fish is fully cooked and safe to eat, without drying it out.
Step 6: Rest and Enjoy
Once your fish reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the Big Green Egg and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to further develop and the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a moist and flavorful piece of perfection.
Cooking Time for Smoked Fish
Smoking fish in a Big Green Egg is not only a mouthwatering way to enjoy seafood, but it also adds a depth of flavor that is sure to impress your friends and family. But before you dive into this culinary journey, it's crucial to understand the cooking time for smoked fish in a Big Green Egg.
The key to achieving perfectly smoked fish lies in the mantra of "low and slow." This means cooking the fish at low temperatures over an extended period. By doing so, the fish has ample time to absorb the smoky flavors while retaining its tenderness and moisture.
Several factors can influence the cooking time for smoked fish:
- Type and size of the fish: Thinner fillets or smaller whole fish will require less time to cook, while larger or thicker cuts may need more time on the smoker.
- Temperature: The temperature at which you smoke the fish plays a significant role in determining the cooking time. Maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the smoking process ensures even cooking.
To ensure that your smoked fish is cooked to perfection, it's essential to monitor its internal temperature. A good starting point is aiming for an internal temperature of around 145°F (63°C) for most types of fish. This ensures that the fish is fully cooked and safe to eat while retaining its moisture. However, certain fish, like salmon, can be cooked to a slightly lower internal temperature of around 130°F (54°C) for a more medium-rare texture.
To accurately gauge the internal temperature, use a digital meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish. Remember not to overcook the fish, as it can result in a dry and tough texture.
While monitoring the internal temperature is crucial, visual cues also play a role in determining doneness. A fully cooked fish should appear opaque and flake easily with a fork. If you notice any translucency or a rubbery texture, it may require more time on the smoker.
External factors, such as weather conditions and the type of wood chips or pellets used for smoking, can also influence the cooking time. Following a recipe or cooking guide specific to the type of fish you're smoking will help ensure the best results.
Finishing Touches: Glazing and Sauces
As you embark on this culinary adventure, there are a few finishing touches that can take your smoked fish to the next level: glazing and sauces. These final additions not only add flavor and moisture but also give your fish a beautiful glossy sheen that will make it look as good as it tastes.
Let's start with glazes. Picture the perfect combination of sweetness and savory tang, like honey or maple syrup paired with soy sauce or the refreshing zest of fruit juices. These are just a few of the ingredients that can be used to create a sticky and flavorful coating for your smoked fish. Brushing on the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking allows it to caramelize, forming a mouthwatering crust that tantalizes the taste buds.
Now, let's dive into some popular glaze options for smoked fish. One classic choice is the teriyaki glaze, which combines the richness of soy sauce with brown sugar, ginger, and garlic for a sweet and savory flavor profile. If you're craving something citrusy, a citrus glaze made with lemon or orange juice, honey, and herbs like thyme or rosemary can add a bright and refreshing twist. And for those who enjoy a little heat, a sweet and spicy glaze featuring ingredients like chili flakes or sriracha can give your fish a delicious kick.
But glazes aren't the only way to elevate your smoked fish experience. Sauces are another fantastic option that can be served alongside or drizzled over the fish before serving. Imagine dipping your perfectly smoked fish into a tangy tartar sauce or savoring it with a creamy lemon dill sauce that enhances its flavors. And let's not forget about aioli – a zesty garlic mayonnaise that can add a burst of flavor to your smoked fish creation.
When choosing glazes and sauces for your smoked fish, it's important to strike a balance of flavors. You want them to enhance the natural taste of the fish without overpowering it. Don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your perfect match.
Timing is crucial when it comes to glazing and saucing your smoked fish. Apply the glaze or sauce towards the end of the smoking process to prevent burning or charring. The high heat of the Big Green Egg can quickly caramelize the sugars in the glaze and cause it to burn if applied too early.
It's important to note that glazing and saucing are optional additions to smoked fish. Some purists prefer to enjoy the pure smoky flavor of the fish without any additional condiments. It all comes down to personal preference and experimenting with what you enjoy most.
Resting the Smoked Fish
Smoking fish is an art that requires time, patience, and a keen attention to detail. While the smoking process itself is crucial, many grill enthusiasts overlook the importance of resting the smoked fish after it has been cooked. In this blog post, we will explore why resting your smoked fish is essential for optimal flavor and texture, providing you with a culinary experience that will leave you craving more.
Allowing Flavors to Meld Together:
During the smoking process, the fish absorbs moisture from the smoky environment. However, this can sometimes result in the fish becoming slightly dry. Resting the smoked fish allows the flavors to meld together, creating a harmonious blend that will tantalize your taste buds.
Resting your smoked fish enables it to reabsorb some of the moisture lost during smoking. This rehydration enhances succulence and ensures a juicy and flavorful final product that will satisfy your cravings.
Relaxing Protein Fibers:
The cooking process tightens proteins in fish, resulting in a tougher texture. Resting the smoked fish gives these protein fibers time to relax, making the flesh more tender and easier to eat. This step is pivotal in ensuring an exceptional dining experience.
While your smoked fish is resting, take advantage of this time to prepare accompanying sauces or side dishes that will perfectly complement its flavors. Tangy citrus glazes or sweet and spicy chili sauces elevate your culinary creation to new heights.
Yes, you can absolutely smoke fish in a Big Green Egg. The Big Green Egg is not just for grilling, it's also a versatile smoker that can infuse your

Appointed on the nobles screen.
 - Allows large production orders.
 - Allows workshop profiles to be set.
The manager is a noble that allows players to create multiple production orders, and also lets them set up profiles for workshops. This means that players can rapidly dispatch any number of jobs from a single screen, without having to add tasks to individual workshops.
Relevant Skills[edit]
A certain set of skills are relevant for any manager. Furthermore, certain personality traits influence whether any experience is gained in the skill. There are soul attributes that affect the skills, and other skills that affect the same attribute's cross-training. The ones relevant for a manager are as follows:
Skill (relevant for manager) Personality Trait (needed to gain social skill) Attribute (affected by social skill)
Body Soul
Administrator Organizer Analytical ability
Social awareness
Social - Other Consoler Straightforwardness (Honesty) > 39 Linguistic ability
Social awareness
Pacifier Cooperation (Compromising) > 39 Linguistic ability
Social awareness
The better match with the skills, traits and attributes in the table above, the better of a manager a dwarf will be. Try to avoid traits that halt experience gain for a relevant skill, otherwise time will be lost training a dwarf who will never get better at that skill.
A manager only performs his duties in his office, so it is absolutely necessary to assign one. Since only a meager office is required, a single chair in the dining room will suffice.
 1. Hit n to enter the Nobles screen
 3. Build a chair somewhere or locate an existing chair.
At this point the red [REQUIRE] under "Manager" should have disappeared from the nobles screen and you should be able to queue up work orders.
It is trivially easy for a manager to get experience in the organizer skill. Just queue a lot of jobs to produce 30 of something, such as Collect Webs, which appears first on the list. The manager will gain experience when validating the order, not when the order is finished. You can cancel the order after it is validated if you wish.
Work orders[edit]
Creating a work order works like this:
 2. Press q to create a new work order
 4. Use the directional keys to select the specific type of item you want.
 5. Enter the quantity of items you want to produce (0 for a perpetual order).
 6. Your work order will appear in the list.
If there are at least 20 dwarves total then the manager will need to go to his office to "validate" each work order before it is acted on. If a manager is somehow occupied with other things then this might take a while, so in larger forts you might want to make sure your manager is not overly burdened with other labors. (For example, disabling hauling and cleaning for the manager might be a good idea.) The manager will also not perform his or her duties if socializing, drinking, eating, asleep or otherwise incapacitated (perhaps due to wounds). Managers don't require writing materials such as paper or scrolls to validate production orders.
To see if an order is validated, check the manager screen — validated orders will have a green checkmark, while invalidated orders will have a red X. Job orders will remain enqueued until the manager is once again in his (or her) office. An order can have the prefix of 'Ready', 'Checking' or 'Active'. A 'Ready' order only needs to be validated by the manager to become 'Active'. A 'Checking' order is waiting for its conditions to be satisfied: it will then become 'Active'.
An order can be set as a One-time order, or as a Repeating order that can restart when completed (conditions checked daily, monthly, seasonally or yearly), in the conditions menu.
You can edit the order in several ways: You can remove it, raise its priority, make it max (top) priority, change its conditions or details, or Enter limit the amount of workshops the order can be assigned to.
Conditions can be added to a work order by pressing c, and can either be based on the amount of an item in your fortress, or can depend on a currently ongoing work order.
Item conditions: To make life easier you can add item conditions from either the reagents/materials or products, or you can even add a new item condition yourself. When an item condition is selected, the following can be changed: The type (cabinets, bins etc.), material (obsidian, Acacia etc.), the traits (food-storage items, nearby items, empty items etc.), the number of the items (though this does not count items that are forbidden, built into something, or owned) and the inequality, at least (>=), less than(<), at most(<=), greater than(>), exactly(==), not(!=)).
Some useful item conditions are tricky to specify:
 - "refined coal" is just simply item=bar material=coal,
 - specific flour is item=powder, material=required flour name (not the plant name), trait=cookable
 - specific alcohol is item=drink, material="alcohol name" (not the plant name)
 - the trait "lye-containing item" (not to be mistaken with "lye-bearing item") is only available for "make soap" job,
 - item=liquid material=lye ignores lye in buckets,
 - the "unused" trait cannot be chosen manually, only reagents/materials key sets it for "make clothing" type of jobs.
Order conditions: The condition can depend on another order being completed, or another order becoming active.
The details of an order specify the type of material used in the making of the item (if applicable). Setting the max number of workshops that the order applies to can be especially useful to ensure that multiple orders for the same type of workshop (e.g. a Mason's Workshop) are worked on at the same time. After a production order is validated and Active, corresponding tasks will be automatically added to applicable workshops until the production quota has been met. An announcement appears when each order is completed. For repeating orders, the order then becomes inactive and the manager checks at the selected time interval for the conditions to become true again before restarting the order.
In repeating work orders, the quantity of items is treated as a batch size rather than a target number for total items to be produced. The quantity is set when creating the work order, and cannot be changed without redoing the entire order, conditions and all. A repeating work order will not abort mid-batch due to job cancellation or failed conditions. It must wait until the end of the batch before stopping. Be forewarned that perpetual (infinite) orders only check their conditions the first time they become true, since the (infinitely-sized) batch never completes. This can lead to confusion and frustration, as the order will never stop, regardless of failed conditions!
A guide to setting up functional work orders may be found in this thread.
Setting workshop profiles[edit]
The manager also allows players to change a workshop's "Profile". To edit a workshop's Profile, select a workshop with q and press P.
The workshop Profile enables players to restrict the dwarves that can use it and the minimum and maximum skill level required to use the workshop. They can choose who specifically can use the workshop by pressing enter on their name to permit/forbid their use of the workshop.
Additionally, using the Work Orders tab on the Profile screen will allow the manager to queue work orders specific to that workshop. Pressing Enter on the Work Orders tab will toggle whether or not the workshop will accept general work orders or only those set through the workshop's Profile.
Dwarves with strange moods seem to be able to claim a workshop even if they do not meet the profile criteria.
A note of caution: workshop profiles persistv0.31.12 even if the manager is killed, which can lead to workshops becoming unusable if the manager is killed and the dwarves permitted into the workshop die or are reassigned. Furthermore, workshop profiles seem to be slightly buggy. Adequate (rusty) weaponsmiths have been seen using a forge with the skill min/max both set to "Dabbling". This may be somewhat irritating if peasants are undergoing training.
One disadvantage of the work order system is that no work will be performed until the manager finishes validating the order. Work order validation appears to be fairly high priority, but it's best to ensure your manager has ample free time and isn't typically called far from the office for timely order validation.
A second disadvantage is that if there is more than one workshop which can fulfill a particular job set (such as several ordinary glass furnaces dedicated to sand collection, plus several magma glass furnaces for actual glass production) then the manager will distribute the jobs amongst all those workshops. While this can be an advantage (for example, if you want to speed up the work orders by having multiple workshops), this will make it difficult to dedicate different workshops to different tasks. This can be prevented by entering the profile of specific workshops and moving to the Work Orders menu; setting "general work orders cannot task this shop" will prevent the manager from assigning tasks.

Let $a \in \Z$ be an integer such that $a \ne 0$.
Then $a$ has a unique associate $b \in \Z_{>0}$.
Proof
Let $a, b, c \in \Z_{\ne 0}$ such that $b > 0$ and $c > 0$.
Let $a \sim b$ and $a \sim c$ where $\sim$ denotes the relation of associatehood.
By definition of associatehood:
$a \divides b$ and $b \divides a$
and:
$a \divides c$ and $c \divides a$
From Divisor Relation is Antisymmetric/Corollary/Proof 2:
$a = \pm b$
and
$a = \pm c$
That is:
$\pm b = \pm c$
which means:
$b = c$ or $b = -c$
But as both $b > 0$ and $c > 0$:
$b = c$
Hence the result.
$\blacksquare$

I can get the title of the active menu using
$menu = &Jsite::getMenu();
$menuname = $menu->getActive()->title;
But how can I access it's parent title?
Try this code:
$menu = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
$parent = $menu->getItem( $menu->getActive()->parent_id );
$parentname = $parent->title
If you need the link
$parentlink = JRoute::_( $parent->link. '&Itemid='. $parent->id );
 - While this answer is correct, you should check the return value of getActive() because there maybe is no active menu and you get a non-object back (I think null) – Harald Leithner Apr 22 '14 at 18:24
The method getActive return a object with the active menu properties including the parent_id. The JMenu class has a method getItem($id), where $id is a menu id. This method return the same type of object that getActive. So, you can do something like this:
$parent_id = $menu->getActive()->parent_id;
$parent_title = $menu->getItem($parent_id)->title;
Since you can get the active menu, you can get the rest by getting the tree. This is usefull to traverse the item list, not just the parent!
So that you understand better, I'm spliting the answer in parts:
1. Create a variable for the active menu (for simplicity and portability):
$menu = &JSite::getMenu();
$active = $menu->getActive();
2. Pick the previous/parent menu by getting the previous item in the tree:
$parent_item_id = $active->tree[count($active->tree) - 2];
NOTE: the tree is an array, and starts with zero, that's why I am subtracting by 2.
3. Finally get the menu title:
Mind you that you also need to add some checks to see if there is an active menu, and/or other error checks.
 - You shouldn't use $menu = &JSite::getMenu();, because it is not a static function. The correct way is to use the code as specified by _USER_. – Don Gilbert Apr 22 '14 at 19:13

Sorry, Darling, how much child benefit data is missing?
UK chancellor Alistair Darling recently admitted that discs containing personal details of families claiming child benefit had been lost
How much information can be in each record if there are 25m child benefit records on two CDs? David Baxter
A standard CD-R will hold 703MB of data -- about 737m characters -- so two discs will hold 1.474bn. That would only be 59 characters per record. However, it seems there are only 7.25m records, each record being a family with one or more children. That would provide 203 characters of data per family, which is enough to include names and dates of birth, an address and bank details.
The simplest way to put a single database on to two CDs is to zip it using an archiving program such as WinZip. This would allow password protection, and would also compress the data. Text can easily be compressed into less than half the space, allowing more data to be stored on the discs. In this case, it could provide from 300 to 400 characters per family.
And remember, with coding, many data fields take up very little space. Country of birth, for example, only needs two characters.

Encyclopedia of Iranian butterflies released
18 Aug 2012 16:09
Alireza Naderi, researcher and butterfly specialist, has completed a field guide on Iranian butterflies which, as he claimed, is the result of over 400 trips in and outside of Iran.
IBNA: In an interview with IBNA, Naderi said the book is a field guide on butterflies in Iran.
As he said, the term "field guide" is used to refer to guidebooks which can be easily used in workplaces; unlike Atlases, field guides are not very heavy and can be taken to the fields where studies are being held.
He asserted that the book is the first work of its kind in Iran to be published on butterflies and follows all international standards.
Butterflies' ecology and behaviors, their natural habitats and preserving them are some of the topics discussed in the book.
Elsewhere in his interview, Naderi said as many as 200 kinds of butterflies are covered in the volume while over 406 (and increasing) types have so far been identified in Iran.
A total of 1,000 copies of the book are published by Iranology Publications. Each copy is arranged in 272 pages.

A new research program launched by the FINRA Foundation and the Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR) has shown that repeated exposure to fraud awareness education can lower a person's susceptibility to investment fraud.
The study "Can Educational Interventions Reduce Susceptibility to Financial Fraud?", which was focused on adults in the United States, showed that fraud awareness education can make a person more likely to recognize investment frauds.
The new findings were announced in a FINRA press release in March, 2021.
Repeated exposure might be the key
"These findings underscore the need for repeated exposure to educational resources that enable individuals to make informed choices and help them to recognize, avoid and report financial fraud," says Gerri Walsh, President of the FINRA Foundation. "Practitioners working in this space have been forced to rely on anecdotal evidence when justifying their efforts because until now, very little published research has examined whether educational interventions can meaningfully reduce individuals' susceptibility to financial fraud, whether they discourage investing in general, and whether any positive effects might persist over time."
Is online education the answer?
The study indicates that more online education might be a feasible way of reducing consumers' likelihood of being the victims of investment fraud.
"Our research suggests that short, easily scalable online education programs can meaningfully reduce adults' susceptibility to investment fraud—and that these effects can persist with repeated exposure," says CESR researcher Jeremy Burke.
Does scam awareness make people less interested in investing?
Does awareness of frauds and scams make a person less willing to invest in anything, even in legitimate investment opportunities?
The answer from this study is no, as the project found no evidence that the interventions reduced consumers' interest in investing in legitimate investment opportunities.
A study on 2,000 adults
The study was comprised of 2,000 adults in the United States. The individuals were drawn from the Understanding America Study – a nationally representative survey panel.
The three groups
Each of the 2,000 individuals was randomly assigned to one of three groups.
- The video group
Individuals in the video group were provided with a 3-minute long educational video about five techniques often present in investment frauds.
- The text group
Individuals in the text group was provided with reading materials about techniques often present in investment frauds. This was the same information as in the video, but in a concise text format.
- The control group
Individuals in the control group received no educational materials.
Researchers measured fraud susceptibility in the three groups immediately after the educational intervention (or for the control group: lack of intervention) and then again six months later.
The testing was carried out using investment pitches drawn from real-world investment offers. Legitimate offers were mixed with fraudulent offers.
A second educational intervention
Some of the members of the video group and the text group received a second educational intervention three months after the first one. This was to see if repeated exposure to educational material would have any impact.
Notable findings from the study
- The educational interventions had an immediate positive impact. This was true for both video intervention and text intervention. Both groups displayed a significantly lower willingness to invest in fraudulent offers compared to the control group.
- The impact of the first educational intervention decayed over time.
- Individuals who received a secondary intervention three months after the first one were less likely to invest in fraudulent opportunities at the six-month mark compared to the control group. (Those who received the secondary intervention were 10% less likely to go for the fraudulent opportunities compared to the control group.)
- The educational interventions did not impact the individuals' willingness to invest in legitimate investment offers at the six-month mark.
Cognitive ability and financial literacy are important to benefit from educational intervention
In the study, an individual's cognitive ability and financial literacy was shown to be very important for their ability to benefit from educational interventions.
- Individuals with higher cognitive ability and higher financial literacy disproportionately benefited from the educational interventions.
- Researchers did not see any effect of the interventions for those with low cognitive ability or low financial literacy.
This last point is of course very interesting and also concerning since it highlights how these types of educational interventions (video or text) might not be able to reach individuals in an impactful way when cognitive abilities and/or financial literacy levels are low.
Fraud is more compelling than honest investment opportunities
Another very interesting finding from this study was that despite the effectiveness of the interventions, study participants were still more willing to invest in fraudulent opportunities than legitimate ones. This was true across all treatment conditions. This is likely due to the fact that financial frauds often promise higher returns than honest business opportunities. A contributor factor is that financial frauds often are based on complicated financial instruments. It can, as an example, be very hard to differentiate a fraudulent and an honest forex instrument without knowing extensive knowledge of the forex trading industry.

Day of Mourning
Why is April 28th a Day of Mourning?
Every year on April 28, people across the country gather to light candles and wear ribbons as they pay their respects and remember the thousands of men and women who have been killed, injured, or suffered illness as a result of work-related incidents. We also honour the families, coworkers, and friends whose lives have been significantly impacted by these tragedies. April 28th was chosen to reflect the anniversary of the day Ontario passed the Workers' Compensation Act in 1914.
How do unions improve workplace health and safety?
Unions stand up for the health and safety of everyone who works for a living. We work with employers to improve working conditions. Unions work with governments to improve workplace health and safety standards and pass laws to punish employers who put lives at risk for their own gain. We can't bring back those who have died, but we are working hard to make workplaces safer for today. By working together – with employers, unions, workers, and our health and safety partners, we can work towards every worker returning home at the end of the day safe and sound.
UFCW Canada encourages every worker to make workplace health and safety a personal priority and help spread the word that workers have the right to refuse unsafe work.
On April 28, let us remember those who have been injured or killed on the job, and keep them in our thoughts. Let us honour the memory of those killed or injured on the job, and never forget the importance of our commitment to keep workers safe.
To commemorate the National Day of Mourning, UFCW Canada has developed a Day of Mourning poster available for download in both English and French. See below the article image for different formats.


What is a Homemade Bong
Homemade Bong Introduction
At the core, this is a smoking device, built at home, with the intention to function like a water bong, usually because there is no other way to smoke the herbs you have laying around. The funny thing is, most of the devices created could be considered homemade pipes if you want to get technical because often, water is not involved, likely out of convenience because making an official homemade binger is not always easy.
How to make a Homemade Bong
This is a question that cannot be answered with one single answer. That is because of the nature of this product – it is homemade and does not come with directions, although you can find some on the internet, ultimately it is just about working with what you have. This type of binger is where you get McGyver-like and hopefully construct something that can be used as a bong or at least a poor excuse of a pipe. Just make sure you have a mouthpiece, a place to pack and light the herb, plus some sort of tube or space for smoke to travel through.
Common Supplies for a Homemade Bong Idea
 - Plastic bottles in different sizes and shapes
 - Various Fruits & Vegetables
 - Aluminum Cans
 - Tubes of pens & markers
Cool Homemade Bongs
How to make a homemade gravity bong
The simplest and most effective homemade bong to construct is a homemade gravity bong.
1. Step
Get two plastic soda bottles. A two-liter bottle and a one-liter bottle work best.
2. Step
Cut the bottom off the smaller bottle, and cut the top off the larger bottle. Do not cut too much, you can always cut more. You will want to leave most of the larger bottle since it will be responsible for holding the water (in a similar process, you can fill a sink, a bucket or anything else to instead hold the water). Just be sure to leave enough of the small bottle because that is where the smoke builds up, similar to the interior of a glass bong. The more space in the bottle the more smoke that can build and the easier it is to operate. You really just need to cut the very bottom off of the small bottle.
3. Step
Now, take the cap from the small bottle and bore a hole in it. It may be easiest to splice an "X" in the cap first with a steak knife. You are going to cover that cap with aluminum foil, forming a bowl towards the interior of the cap – this cap will be screwed back on the bottle so be aware of which side is which. With the tin foil in place, finally, you will pop tiny holes in the foil bowl with a paper clip or a pin, even a thumbtack.
4. Step
There is a reason you are making the bowl inside the cap! Don't think you can do a shortcut and just put the foil over the top of the bottle opening. You can, but there are optimal ways to do things and with this is one way – with it the cap can be screwed back on the bottle to create a tight seal.
5. Step
You will want to make sure the foil is also secure around the cap so you can get suction. We don't recommend using any adhesive for a better seal, you're really just trying to McGyver something quick here.
6. Step
When all is cut properly, next, fill the two-liter, larger bottle with water. Again, in place of this 2 liter bottle you can use a large pot, a bucket, a sink, whatever you can fill with water.
7. Step
Now finally, load that homemade bowl piece! SLOWLY submerge the smaller bottle into the water but stop below the neck and mouthpiece part of the bottle. The further submerged the bottle, the more smoke that you will be able to bring into the makeshift bong.
8. Step
Once submerged, light the bowl, then SLOWLY pull your "pipe" out of the water. You will watch it fill with white smoke as you do. The pressure created by pulling the bottle upward will pull in air from the outside, as if you were taking a hit, but the pressure does it for you and the smoke comes into the bottle and stores in between the mouthpiece and water.
9. Step
When that bottle pipe is filled with smoke, screw that bowl off quickly (don't have it fully screwed on to begin with) and push the bottle back down inside the water just as you took it out. Again, pressure is at work here, except it is the opposite effect and it will push the smoke outward through the mouthpiece because of the incoming water. While pushing down, make sure to cover the bottle opening with your mouth and that is where the "bong" hit is taken.
You're sure to get a powerful hit, so keep that in mind when operating!
How to make a Soda Can Bong
This works just fine, even if people think it's so terribly ghetto or cracky looking. It's the quintessential homemade bong if you can even call it that. All you need to do is get a can and crush it right.
1. Step
Make the indentation in the center of the can simply by pushing down. Attempt to form a bit of a bowl formation, but don't go crazy – aluminum cans are super sharp when broken down.
2. Step
Next, on one of the indentation slopes, towards the center of the bowl formation, poke tiny holes with something – a thumbtack is really optimal for this, at least I have found.
3. Step
Now the aluminum pipe is made and all you do is place your herbal remedy over the holes and spark up. With this legendary soda pop can bong, you actually will get a huge hit, albeit a little harsh – if you bend the can right you can get a little water on the one side to create somewhat of a homemade bubbler.
How to make a Toilet Paper Roll Bong
This often is referred to as the most ghetto of all pipes in a pinch. In fact, it is effective at delivering a powerful, albeit harsh hit. The pipe is easily assembled with common items available most anyplace you might wish you had a bowl pipe, but do not. In fact it might be preferable to a clogged glass or metal pipe.
1. Step
Simply find a toilet paper roll. Make a cat happy if the roll full so that it doesn't go to waste. You'll need all the paper removed from the roll.
2. Step
Next, cut a little square out of the top of that toilet paper roll. This is where the homemade bowl piece will be placed so keep that in mind.
3. Step
You are going to take that trusty aluminum foil and form a bowl piece. Put it in the cut square and simply take a paper clip or pin and poke holes in the new found metal bowl – by the way, if you have a salt shaker head, that also can work, but it is not always an option.
Finally, tape that aluminum foil bowl piece into place on the roll, right into the little square that was cut out. Take care not to set anything on fire – including the roll – when you take your hit. All you do is put one end of the roll to your mouth and your hand over the other end. Next, take a puff as you would with any other smoking pipe or bong. When you want to clear the hit out, just remove your hand and pull.
How to make a Potato Bong
One often cultivated, rarely celebrated homemade bong is a potato. It's really quite simple, and the potato gets baked along with you.
1. Step
Hollow out the potato and bring out the inner sculptor. Simply create a hole at the top and another on the opposite side - you're trying to mimic the average glass pipe design here. Tunnel down from the top, but make sure it's a skinny tunnel. You don't want your buds falling inside of the potato. If that happens, add cheese, bacon and pop it in the oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
2. Step
Next, place the herbs over the top of one hole, as if that hole is the bowl piece in the Roor bong you don't have. The hole on the other side acts as the mouthpiece and the tunnel between the two is well, that is where the smoke travels through. Once you have that built out just light up and get to it like Bob, no tin foil necessary.
Most people prefer to apply this same concept to an apple, which may taste better. But remember, you have to work with what you have and sometimes you may only have a potato.


Study Says Gay and Lesbian Couples Happier Than Their Straight Counterparts
Submitted by Take Out on Tue, 02/06/2018 - 23:05
Gay and lesbian couples have happier relationships than their straight counterparts, according to new research.
Academics behind the research say it counters the stereotype that same-sex relationships are conflictual, unhappy and dysfunctional.
The research, based on surveys of over 25,000 people in the UK and Australia, is published in the academic journal Family Relations.
It found that UK gay and lesbian couples had a relationship quality as high as their straight counterparts, while in Australia it was higher than heterosexuals.
Its authors have offered possible explanations for why homosexual relationships are happier. They said same-sex couples and particularly women are more likely to share domestic labour equally and this means there is less conflict.
Gay and lesbian people are also more likely to feel part of a community, and this could enhance their self-esteem and allow them to experience higher levels of wellbeing.
They could also be more invested in their relationships given the personal and institutional barriers that they have to overcome as members of a sexual minority.
The research also found bisexuals experienced lower relationship quality than gay, lesbian and heterosexual people. The authors claim this could be due to bisexuality being a silenced and invisible sexual identity, with bisexuals not fitting into the gay or lesbian communities or the heterosexual majority.

- Shortened cakes - should remain 10 minutes in their pans, and then unmolded and optionally, turned upright to the wire cake rack.
Cakes baked in rectangular or square pans, jelly roll/sheet and springform pans: many remain in their pans to cool completely. The warm interior of a cake needs a chance to become firm, so any drastic movements jeopardizes its structure. The cake rack allows even air circulation to prevent condensation and sogginess. A spatula or thin knife can be inserted and moved around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake before unmolding it to the cake rack.
- Unshortened or Foam cakes - Sponge cake: unmolded immediately; Angel food and chiffon cake: suspended upside down until cool
This how to baking technique is used with the Frosted Fresh Cherry Cake Recipe Tutorial.
HOW TO TIPS:
1. Take the cake layers immediately from the oven to a wire cake rack and let them sit for 10 minutes. Loosen the sides with a small metal spatula or sharp knife. Invert onto wire cake rack, peel off parchment paper, if using, and place upright with the support of another wire cake rack to cool completely.
SARAH SAYS: A cake layer is fragile when hot when taken right from the oven and will crack easily and fall apart if unmolded too soon from its pan. Letting it sit for 10 minutes in its pan allows it to cool a bit before unmolding, preventing this from happening. If your cooling rack has short legs and sits close to the countertop, condensation easily forms between the two making the underside of the cake wet. So, prop up your cooling rack by placing a same height glass under each corner. Then air can easily circulate around the cake to cool it and no condensation will form.
2. Unmold the second cake layer.
